Ngiting Kings x Mencius Smile Dental Wellness Mission
Last September 7, in coordination with the Manila Health Department, we held our “Ngiting Kings x Mencius Smile Dental Wellness Mission.” The wellness mission served over 300 beneficiaries, providing essential dental check-ups, consultations, and treatments. As part of the program, dentures were provided to 25 recipients, restoring not only their smiles but also their confidence and quality of life.
In addition, 100 pneumonia vaccines were administered, further strengthening the health and protection of our community. This initiative reflects our shared commitment to promoting wellness, ensuring that our members continue to thrive with healthier smiles and stronger lives.
Kalma sa Gitna ng Pangangamba
As part of our Mental Health Awareness initiatives, we held a special talk by Father Bitoy. Through his insightful sharing, participants were reminded of the importance of faith, hope, and resilience in overcoming life’s challenges. Father Bitoy emphasized practical ways to find calm in moments of fear and uncertainty, encouraging everyone to embrace both prayer and mindfulness as anchors of strength. It was an enlightening and heartwarming session that left participants with renewed peace and courage.

안녕하세요, KOICA VOLUNTEERS!
The KOICA Volunteers had a flavorful experience as they immersed themselves in Filipino culture through food! Guided by Home Culinary, they learned how to cook two local favorites — the warm and comforting sinigang and the sweet, crunchy turon. More than just a cooking lesson, it was a cultural exchange filled with laughter, stories, and hands-on learning. The session highlighted how food brings people together, creating connections that go beyond language and borders.
Bulan Ti Wikang Pambansa
Sa paggunita ng Buwan ng Wika, sama-samang ipinagdiwang ng ating komunidad ang yaman ng ating kultura at pagkakakilanlan bilang Pilipino. Tampok sa selebrasyon ang koronasyon ng Lakan at Lakambini, pagpapakita ng galing at talento sa pamamagitan ng Sining sa Bilao. Isa itong makulay na patunay na ang ating wika ay hindi lamang daluyan ng komunikasyon, kundi isang buhay na simbolo ng ating kasaysayan, pagkakaisa, at pagmamalaki sa pagiging Pilipino.
Sa patimpalak na Lakan at Lakambini ng Wika, ipinakita ng mga kalahok ang kanilang ganda at tikas. Sa pamamagitan ng kanilang kasuotan at pagganap, itinatampok nila ang kahalagahan ng kulturang Pilipino at ang ganda ng ating pagkakakilanlan bilang isang bayan.

Sa Sining sa Bilao, ipinamalas naman ng mga kalahok ang kanilang malikhaing galing at husay sa sining. Mula sa makukulay na disenyo hanggang sa masining na presentasyon, bawat obra ay sumasalamin sa yaman ng imahinasyon at malikhaing diwa ng Pilipino.
Creative/Junk Journaling Workshop
Our recent Creative Junk Journaling Workshop was such a fun and inspiring session! ✨
Participants enjoyed exploring their creativity through junk journaling while also taking home lots of exciting freebies.
The event featured a charming flower bar, where everyone got to pick and style their own blooms, plus a hands-on activity of customizing tote bags to make the experience even more personal.
It was a day filled with art, self-expression, and community — truly a reminder that creativity blossoms when shared together.

Hand-Building Pottery Workshop!
Our Hand-Building Pottery Workshop was a hands-on experience where creativity met craftsmanship. Participants learned the basics of shaping and molding clay, discovering the joy of turning simple materials into unique, handmade pieces.
The session was filled with laughter, focus, and a sense of calm as everyone explored the art of pottery at their own pace. Each creation carried a personal touch — proof that art is not just about skill, but about expression and the beauty of imperfection.
Truly, it was a workshop that left hearts (and hands!) full.
